In the ninth episode of The ScreenSkills Podcast, launched in partnership with The Adobe Foundation, we turn the spotlight on all things animation and children's TV. 

With the Children's Media Conference taking place in Sheffield, we joined the conversation by speaking to those working in animation and live-action children's TV. ScreenSkills' Animation Production Liaison Executive, Kieran Argo, sat down with BAFTA winning producer and Director of both Animation UK and the British Animation Awards, Helen Brunsdon, to explore trends, challenges and opportunities across animation.

We then hear from Eline van der Velden, producer and founder of Particle6, a production company at the forefront of using technological advances within production. She discusses her work as part of the Children's TV Skills Council, her career and how she's adopting a scientific approach to help boost creativity.

Member of the ScreenSkills team, Matt Brothers, tells us all about the work of the Animation Skills Fund and we hear more about the landmark training programme offering vital entry points to animation and live-action children's TV, DreamBIG.
